Lies. He’s clearly some sort of android of cyborg programmed to do only one thing – play Bayou Billy. This man/machine hybrid has been playing the game since it’s release and has only now beaten it. It’s just that balls hard.

Yeah, the people at SDA do some crazy-ass shit. Watch the Fallout 3 run. It uses the shitty physics in the game to basically skip from leaving Vault 101 to heading to the final quest in the game. Think it was like under 40 minutes long. It’s butt-ass boring but from a technical standpoint it’s fuckin’ hilarious.

When I was a kid my parents had this attitude “You better beat this game or I’ll beat your ass” before I get you a new one. I swear to God I had to beat and damn near master any game I had before I even got a new one. Probably the reason why I beat every game I own, or atleast mastered that bitch to the last boss of the game (fuck you ThunderBird from Adventures of Link). I mean I only got a few games a year and you can bet that I played the pure shit out of them. Thank God! I never asked for Bayou Billy… I probably would have never had owned another game after that. My most difficult game to beat was Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles yes the original one! the one that’s mission impossible to beat. I was 7 years old and Home from school for a week with the Flu and so God help me I actually beat that game.

That was very epic indeed.

Turtles was easy to beat once you learned you had to just walk across that gap to get the missiles, not try to jump.

Just checked Spoony’s vid again and he did’nt mention it but…does anyone else think the game designers were being a little optimistic with regards to the maximum speed of a jeep??? I mean…180 MPH!!!!!????? Does Mr Big keep all his jeeps tricked out with twin-turbos and nitrous as well as the hood mounted shotguns and ready supply of hand grenades???

no prize;) Stan the man salutes you, sir.

ME HATE SPOONY! ME WAS PROMISED MOAR!

SPPNY OWS ME!1!!11

Nah… seriously though… great stuff.

The Video has stopped working.

Wow just…wow

I’ve heard of taking damage to save time, but this is ridiculous.

Clearly a hoax. come on, no one beat this.

I wonder if he felt satisfied after beating that. Hours of playing over and over, getting that little bit further each time untill he finaly beat the game…

My sister made it fo the final boss, I believe I on the other hand only made it to level 5 or something like that.

Not so interested in speedruns and anything similar, but it did make me watch Spoony’s old Bayou Billy review if nothing else.

And it’s great to see that so far the trolls are silent.

@#1 glad you liked my fallout 3 run it was 30:09
Tom ‘rdrunner’ Votava actually has more runs then anyone else on sda, it seems he likes extremely hard games more then most

Hey Noah when will you post another video? Love the site but I’m jonesing for another episode.

I think this should be a new segment on here. The Spoony No Awards. Kinda like acheivements you get for some games on Xbox. This could be a funny (or maybe just to me) thing to do. Someone does something soo odd and sends it in. Just an idea.

WHAT, Aonther blog post? When are ya gonna post new videos Noah? This is so lame!!!

Ha, Just kidding. Honestly I’d much rather wait the extra time for a video that is good, fully edited, and complete, then a video that was rushed and left unfinised because a few jackasses were irritating you over it. I’m pretty sure most of the other people who frequent this site feel the same way. So take your time, and finish stuff when you can. The people who bitch and moan need to find something more constuctive to do with their time.

Actually this isn’t that big of a deal, as it’s recorded with extreme slowdown and savestates which means probabily anyone on here could do it with practise. The hard part is actually optimising the gameplay to the max. Certain Speedruns or TASes can take up to 2 years to complete due to working out which button presses are faster and what things cause frame lag. It’s still rather an impressive run nonetheless.

Y’know, even though he did beat it (believe me, it’s more than I’ll ever do) it still wasn’t that easy. You still have to beat down the helicopter – “war of attrition”, as Spoony says. You still have to have a weapon pretty much 100% of the time as it’s really the only way to effectively fight anyone, and even so, if you’ve got the stick then some of the enemies can STILL hit you if you can hit them.

And here’s something else: why do you have to fight the Double Dragon Twins AFTER you beat down the Fat Man? Isn’t fatty their boss? If they beat down Billy who’s gonna pay ‘em? It’s not like they can’t just let Billy go get his woman and then loot tubbo’s house. Y’know? Steal one of those Apache attack choppers. And really, if the Fat Man can afford a fleet of choppers then wouldn’t that money be better spent hiring one sniper to put one in Billy’s dome from half a mile away?

Dammit. See what going to this site so often has done to me? Now I’m starting to think like Spoony.

The credits explain that the twins were the heirs to the Fatman’s empire, SpitefulCrow. They were apparently stupid enough to try for it while Billy was still in the room.

Tom Votava, if you are reading this, I salute you. You are a better gamer than I.

I love that site.
You guys see the run of Morrowind?

How do you kill…that which has no life?!

Damn.

Damn.

Michael K, you are an ass, and you’re also wrong. SDA doesn’t allow tool-assisted speedruns of any kind, and they do check. This was a genuine effort from an insanely talented speed runner, and insulting his integrity is downright slimy.

Does this video work?

Godhand?

I love SDA’s website. No emulators allowed, and they take this speed running very seriously.

But yeah…I wonder how many times this guy had to play this to get this run…probably months. And like five months from now, someone else will come in with a time thirty seconds faster and take this guy’s record.

Definitely nice speedrun, but I’d prefer some crazy runs like for example Half-Life speedrun :D Anyway, SDA is awesome. I’m happy to help SDA users in their runs :)

Yeah, gotta love SDA ( and specially Portal and HL2 speedruns ), and this one was more impressive when I now know the difficulty of the game.

Wow! After seeing Spoony’s review of it way back when, I thought it was an impossible game to win, especially with the enemies who apparently ignore bullets (Although I suppose that might have been bulletproof vests, I’ve never played the game myself).

Kudos to rdrunner for that, it was down right impressive!

Very impressive, but I saw Divine Intervention at work no less than three times :o)

Is this tool assisted? Some of the Speed Runs there are tool assisted. Either way, I bet it was on a ROM, which is slightly different than the original.

Didnt watch the hole video but, damm this guy must be some kind of half-God.

I’m pretty sure you cannot submit tool assisted runs to Speed demos archives.

SDA doesn’t accept tool assisted runs. What you see is what you get. How are the roms different from the original carts by the way? Only difference i’ve noticed is the lack of blowing into the contacts to get the things to work.

Wrong and wrong. SDA only accepts runs that are not tool assisted and are recorded from the actual console. And, really, if you watched even a small chunk of the video it’s pretty obvious that it isn’t just a screencap. There is some very obvious jitter in there that wouldn’t be present when running on an emulator.

Also, ROMs are not slightly different than the original. A ROM dump is an exact dump of the code on the cartridge. The only time there are differences between real console play and emulated play is when there is a bug in the emulator.

Plus, the ROM version can’t use the zapper, you have crosshairs on the zapper levels instead, which this clearly does not.

ha congrats to that guy, I guess. But I just don’t even know why you’d even bother trying to get that good at a game like that. It’s like congrats for being a loser and wasting your time, mastering Bayou Billy ;)

Sorry if I offended anyone there, but that is just one challenge, I wouldn’t want to waste time with.

Its impressive, but is it weird if all I can dwell on is that Billy’s section of the end dialogue could be completely replaced by the chorus of the Rickroll song and still make sense?

Man. This guy is way cooler than I am.

That ending dialogue is among the worst I’ve read.

Bourbon Street is the 6th Level? Or Fifth I lost count,away wow.
